Chapter 572 Search

Lilith asked, "Should we go talk to Mary the janitor now?"

"Since she lied, she will not change her story easily. We have no evidence to prove that she stole the necklace." Luke thought for a while and continued, "Besides, the room Mary cleaned yesterday morning should have been seen at that time.

If the necklace was really stolen by her, it should have been transferred yesterday."

Lilith said, "I just checked my work schedule. Because there was an auction last night, some employees needed to work overtime, and Mary was also on the list.

It should be after eleven o'clock in the evening after finishing the evening shift. According to the regulations, they will stay in the dormitory last night, and Mary will not take leave until the shift is handed over at noon today."

Luke said, "If Mary has not left the club, it means that the necklace has probably not been transferred."

Lilith asked, "Should we call the police and search Mary's dormitory?"

"You can, but I don't recommend it." Luke explained, "Although the employee dormitories are the property of the club, the right to use them has been given to the employees, and a search warrant is also required to search the dormitories.

Although I saw that Mary was lying, there was no evidence to prove that she stole the necklace, so the search warrant might not be possible.

Moreover, even if I ask someone to help me apply for a search warrant, once the police enter the dormitory to search, it will be difficult to hide the matter. Are you mentally prepared for this?"

"No, I still want to keep it as secret as possible. There has been a theft in the club. If another theft occurs, the impact will be too bad.

One plus one equals two is just a theory. In fact, the impact of one plus one is far greater than two." Luke's ability to consider the issue from Lilith's perspective made Lilith trust him more and more, "Luke, what do you think?

How to handle it better."

"What time does Mary's shift change?"

"At 11:30 noon, shift handover will be completed before 11:50."

Luke said, "Then wait until she leaves the club before taking action, so there is no need for a search warrant."

…

noon.

Mary finished her shift, went back to the dormitory and changed clothes, then went to the employee parking lot and drove away in a red Toyota.

As the car drove out of the club, Mary stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up a bit.

After Mary passed the intersection ahead, she felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

"Woooo..."

Suddenly, a police car jumped out from behind, caught up with Mary's car, and sounded the siren behind Mary's car.

"Fuck! These damn police are fishing again." Mary was very sure that she didn't see the police car just now. These guys must be hiding in some hidden place again.

She did drive a little too fast just now, and she wasn't sure if she was speeding, but according to the usual style of these police officers, she would probably get a ticket and cursed, "These damn vampires."

Although Mary was angry, she still turned right and pulled over.

The police car behind also stopped, and two police officers got out of the police car. The police officer in the cab was a white man, and in the passenger seat was an Asian female police officer.

The white man habitually touched the rear of the red Toyota, walked outside the cab, and said, "Madam, please open the window."

Mary reluctantly lowered the window and forced a smile, "Sir, what can I do?"

"You were speeding just now. Give me your ID and move slower."

"Sorry, my daughter is sick and I am in a hurry to get home." Mary handed her driver's license to the white police officer.

"No matter what the reason is, pay attention to safety."

"Yes, sir.

I will pay attention to it in the future, can you give me a chance?" Mary said in a flattering tone.

The white police officer sniffed and said, "Madam, please get out of the car."

"Why?"

The white police officer looked serious and repeated, "Ma'am, please turn off the engine and get out of the car."

Mary had no choice but to get out of the car and said, "I need a reason."

"did you drink?"

"I didn't. I just got off work. There's no way I could drink."

"Should I search your car?"

Mary resisted a little, "Why? You have no right to do this."

"I smell contraband, please cooperate."

"Oh my God, you are being unreasonable. There is no contraband in my car."

An Asian female police officer also came over and said, "Madam, please cooperate."

"I think you're targeting me? Because I'm black?"

"No, no one is targeting you.

I smell contraband, so your car will be inspected according to the law.

This is my right, please cooperate.

This is already the third warning, and I will not give it the fourth time." The white police officer looked serious and said in a commanding tone, "Open the trunk."

With tears in her eyes, Mary said, "You are discriminating and I will file a complaint against you.

I have never done anything illegal, never..."

"That's your right, but now I have to fulfill my duties." The white police officer looked at the Asian policewoman standing aside, "Lucy, search her."

Mary stared at the two of them with aggrieved eyes, but due to the majesty of the police, she still did not dare to resist.

Asian policewoman Lucy is responsible for searching Mary.

The white police officer searched the car.

The white police officer first searched the trunk and found no contraband. Then he began to search the interior of the car and found a black bag under the passenger seat. The white police officer opened the bag and found a tin box containing cookies.

Inside the box cover is a gorgeous necklace with a blue gemstone in the middle and white diamonds on both sides.

The white police officer put on gloves, held the cookie tin and asked, "Ma'am, is this your item?"

"Yes."

"Is the necklace in the box yours too?"

Mary had tears in her eyes and looked a little helpless. She nodded slowly, "Yes, it's mine. Is there any problem?"

The white police officer asked, "What's your name, ma'am?"

"Mary Larson."

"Ms. Larson, where do you work?"

"Buggs Club."

"Coincidentally, we just received a call from Bugs Club. A guest at the club lost a sapphire necklace." The white police officer said, clicking on his phone to check, "The missing necklace is exactly the same as yours.

Madam, I ask again, is this your necklace?"

Mary Larson couldn't hold it in any longer and cried, "Oh my god, are you here to catch me?"

The white police officer said, "Ms. Mary Larson, we suspect that you are related to the necklace theft at the Bugs Club. Now please help the police investigate."

…

Near Baggs Club.

A racecourse has been built here, and there is an antique wooden house near the racecourse, which is somewhat similar to a Western-style bar.

Whenever horse racing is held, the place is packed with club guests.

However, few guests come here at this time of year, and the area around the cabin is deserted.

A police car drove over and slowly stopped on the side of the road. Two police officers got out of the car and escorted a black woman towards the wooden house.

Luke heard the noise, walked out of the wooden house, and greeted the two police officers, "John, Lucy, is she the thief you caught?"

John said, "Yes, we searched her car and found a necklace with a sapphire, which is exactly the same as the lost property photo that Miss Finn reported to the police."

Mary looked at Luke with complicated eyes, then quickly lowered her head.

Luke said, "Lucy, take her into the house first."

"yes, sir."

Luke handed John a cigarette and asked, "Is everything going well?"

"Of course, I'm no longer the rookie I was back then.

What just happened was not difficult for me."

John described the arrest process and handed Luke the necklace found in Mary's car.

Luke opened the tin box containing cookies and looked at the sapphire necklace. The style was very similar to the one in the photo.

After smoking, Luke and John also entered the cabin.
